FD60 fire doors for Bradford buildings
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Bradford? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bradford and the wider West Yorkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Bradford, fire door work covers everything from schools to purpose-built blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For FD60 work in Bradford we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Bradford buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
What do you hand over at the end?
For every FD60 opening we record the product and certificate reference, the gap measurements, the hinge and closer specification, how the frame was fixed and what was used to seal the frame-to-structure gap, with photographs before the architraves go on. That record is what your fire risk assessor or building control officer will ask for.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
The regulations behind fire doors in Bradford
Fire doors in Bradford fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Bradford above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Yes. We cover Bradford including BD1, and nearby towns such as Shipley and Pudsey. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Bradford?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
